    Rainy/Snowy Tuesday

    Well we have been down and out with this virus. I feel like have weights on my body just weighing me down not to mention tired. No real fever yet though. The two little ones have had the fever more. I was up most the night with my DD. I did get downstairs to the sewing room to sew while I watched out the window as my oldest who already had this was out shooting baskets in the driveway. It just made my heart sing to see him out there wanting to shoot baskets instead of playing video games. I made some practice pieces to work on applique stitches with my machine so that when I do my blocks for guild that I have them be somewhat ok instead of looking sloppy. Though that was only for about 20 minutes and that was all I could do. HOping to kick this stuff in the butt soon so that I can get back to doing what I want to do.

    My DH went today to get his tracer dose of radiation. The doctor said they couldn't believe he was at work. The way his levels came back he should be beyond exhuasted, which he is. He response back is I have to pay the bills. I feel bad, but I think it helped him to know that the reason he has been so tired, hungry, and moody is because he truly is chemically inbalanced like they want. After this week hopefully he can go back to normal which we are all looking forward too. Especially because then hopefully with fingers crossed we will have beaten this cancer completely out of here.
    Hugs

    You've got your hands full, Stacey. Hang in there!! I know he will be feeling better as time goes on, but of course you have to get there first. Hope you and your family recover quickly from your virus -- that's not fun either.
    My niece had a little girl -- have to get going on a pink UFO that will be perfect for our newest family member. Hope everyone has a good day.

      Hang in there Stacey! (Peggy's right your hands are very full). I'm glad you had a change to work a little on your applique.
